Colbys are the best! Right, Cousins?
Once in awhile we do get recognition. If you subscribe to "Ancestry" - the
magazine, not the website (althought it's all the same thing, really), look
in the July-August issue starting on page 16. The article is "Your Creative
Family Tree" and one of the "creative" people featured is ..... ME!
The article is on the many ways to creatively organize and display the
information on your family that you have collected. My Sunburst Charts are
certainly one of the easiest ways! But there are so many fantastic ideas in
that article that at least one might spark your interest. And, I'd like to
remind you all that there is a 10% discount to anyone who is a descendant of
our Anthony & Susannah Colby!
There is also an article on the OneWorldTree - in case you have seen this
thing and wondered about it. I think if might be worth the money! In all,
this is a good magazine to get.

FAMILY NOTES
HUSBAND NOTES: John COLBY
WIFE NOTES: Hannah ROWELL
CHILD NOTES: Charles C. COLBY
General:
Charles C. Colby, late president of the Colby Piano Company, Erie, Pa., who
died
April 8, 1895, was born in Bradford, Vt., and was a son of John and Hannah
(Rowel) Colby, his maternal grandmother being a direct descendant of Israel
Putnam, of Bunker Hill fame. When Mr. Colby was quite young his father, who
was
a millwright, removed to Springfield, Pa., where he remained for several
years
and then went to Albert Lea, Minn. This city was surveyed and laid out by
Mr.
Colby in 1856; it is now the third city in size and importance in the State.
Of
the five children which reached maturity Charles C. was the eldest. He was
educated in the public schools and academy of Springfield, Pa., early
manifesting an interest in matters pertaining to music and musical
instruments.
When a boy he was a skillfull performer upon the violin. He followed school
teaching for several years, the last three years in the mathematical
department
of the Chicago public schools. He then went to Minnesota, where he engaged
in
surveying, which he followed for twelve years. Removing to Carthage, Mo.,
he
engaged in the sale of pianos and other musical instruments. He made the
trip
to Missouri with two wagons that were built to order, one of which carried a
piano. He was accompanied by his 8-year-old daughter, Clara E. (now Mrs. W.
M.
Thoms), who has since become famous as a piano artist. On one side the
canvas
top of the wagon containing the piano could be withdrawn, exposing the
piano,
and thus, with Clara at the piano and Mr. Colby playing the violin, they
gave
concerts wherever they
stopped at night. After remaining in Carthage for six years, Mr. Colby took
up
his residence in Vienna for the purpose of giving his daughter an
opportunity of
acquiring a classical education in music and the languages, for which she
possessed much natural talent. He remained abroad five years, during which
time
he visited his native country twice, and then returned to New York City,
where
he engaged in the manufacture of pianos. Mr. Colby made several valuable
improvements in pianos, the most important of which was his improved method
of
stringing. Finding that he could manufacture cheaper in Erie than in New
York,
he removed his business to Erie in 1888. The present plant covers a space of
over three acres of ground and has a capacity of 100 pianos a week. It is
one of
the largest Institutions of its kind in the world, and is without doubt one
of
the best organized and equipped. Mr. Colby was the president of the company
up
to the time of his death, and his son, C. C. Colby, jr., superintendent of
the
factories; W. J. McCarter, secretary, and J. E. Patterson, treasurer. In
addition to the officers, Mr. W. L. Darling, of Corry, Pa., is a director.
The
salesrooms are located at 1222 State street. In the second story of the
building
is a conservatory of music which has 350 pupils. The third story is occupied
by
"Colby Hall," where every season recitals are given by the leading artists
of
the country. The hall is also used for musical entertainments by the pupils
of
the conservatory. Mrs. Colby, the wife of C. C. Colby, is quite a noted
artist
having studied several years at the academy in New York City. She is of
French
parentage, although born in the United States. She has been an extensive
traveler and spent four years in the city of Vienna, Austria. Mr Colby had
four
children; Clara E. (who married "Mr. William Thoms, publisher and
proprietor of
the American Art Journal of New York), Charles C. (who married Miss Gertrude
Sturgeon, a talented young-pianist of Erie), Margaret (who married Mr. Hayes
Russell, of Erie), and Miss Pearl L. Colby (who will graduate from the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1895.).

Sharing some new information:
I recently received a death certificate on a 2gr-uncle George E. Colby:
b. 15 May 1849 - Rochester, NY and died 19 March 1915 in Grand Island,
NE. George is the son of Daniel and Abigail Colby. The Daniel Colby
family lived in Richford Hill, Tioga Co., NY and also moved to Jones
Co., Iowa. George's father, Daniel, is the son of David and Sarah
Farrington Colby, of Maine. My 2 gr-grandmother, Diantha Colby Fitch
(b. 1830 and died in 1881) is the sister of George.
On George's death certificate it lists his mother's maiden name as:
ABBOTT (which our family did not know). I have not done any further
research or verification yet on the surname of ABBOTT, but will
eventually. The death certificate also listed Abigail's birthplace as
Canada. This may not be correct since a daughter-in-law gave the info
on the death certificate and the census records with Abigail listed have
indicated that her birthplace was NY. I will need to research this also.
George's other siblings were: Jane Colby, b. 1834; Olive Colby, b.
1838; David Colby, b. 1841; Albert Colby, b. 1846; and Edwin Colby, b.
1852.

ADAMS, CLAY, HALL, AND HAMILTON COUNTIES, NEBRASKA BIOGRAPHICAL AND
HISTORICAL MEMOIRS.
Hamilton County, Nebraska
In the early part of 1885, a great deal of petty thieving was going on in
the vicinity of Marquette, from farmers in the surrounding country and from
merchants in the town, several burglaries even being committed. It was
concluded that and organized band of outlaws existed in that section of the
county, and the commissioners took steps for their apprehension and
conviction, making a special appropriation of funds for that purpose.
Messrs. Haniner & Kellogg were attorneys for the county and at once entered
upon an investigation of the matter. A detective was employed and in a
short time an overwhelming amount of evidence was accumulated and six
members of the gang were arrested. A special term of the court was called
in June, 1885, for their trial, but so completely had the work of securing
evidence been done, that no defense was attempted, the parties pleading
guilty. Ed Colby, Fred Colby, Richard Shull, Jacob Mundell and Cab Rumrey
were each sentenced to two years and six months and J. Garrett to one year
in the penitentiary.
